Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de Estano (Asturias) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa de Estano (Asturias) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa de Estano for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This beach near La Nora , located just outside of Gijón, features a mid-sized parking lot, lifeguards, showers, and a restaurant/bar/terrace. It has a pebble beach and a ramp leading down from the parking lot. The crystal clear water makes it ideal for snorkeling.

This spot is great - it's nice and quiet, and the walk down to it is a bit of a trek, but the walk back up is even bigger! However, it's easy to access, making it well worth the effort.

This location is a beautiful spot with light fine pebbles. It's a great place to spend a day in the sun.

Playa de Estano is huge and eerily silent. It's like a ghost town, but with sand instead of buildings. You can almost feel the stillness in the air. It's a great place to go if you want to feel totally alone.

A perfect spot for some rest and relaxation, this beach is the ideal place to go to after filling up on some food. With its hot temperature, it's the perfect spot to lie on and unwind.
